二、閱讀理解：

Thus the speech ended. Lincoln spoke for less than three minutes: the photographer who was standing in front of him did not even have time to take a picture. The speech was over almost before it began.

On the platform Edward Everett, the great speechmaker, whispered to Secretary of State Seward: “It is not what I expected from him. I am disappointed.” Seward, too, thought that the President had given a poor speech.

Lincoln himself felt bad about his speech: he thought that it did not have the effect that he hoped it would have, that in fact it “fell on the audience like a wet blanket.” Later he said, “I ought to have prepared it with more care.”

The newspapers too were not impressed by the President’s Gettysburg Address. The nearby Harrisburg paper considered it “silly” while the reporter of the London Times thought the speech dull and commonplace. The first favorable comment came from the Chicago Tribune, and was followed by the Springfield Republican, a Massachusetts newspaper. “Turn back and read it over,” it advised. “It will repay study as a model speech …”
